The Latin Lexicon (nicknamed Numen) is an online Latin dictionary (a dictionary of the Latin Language) and Latin grammar tool based on An Elementary Latin Dictionary (by Charlton T. Lewis). This online dictionary is different from any other you've ever used. It has been built from the ground up using AJAX technology to allow the fastest, most efficient and most useful user interface. Oh, and it includes macrons!

This Blogger site is just a holding place for our news!

It's that time of year again -- Fall semester has begun! That means this site has begun picking up steam. During summers and other long breaks (spring and the winter holidays mainly), the site takes a sudden downturn while students enjoy their time off. But whenever a new semester starts, visits pick up dramatically. The uptick this year is quite high -- almost 40% over last year.

As the years go by, this site gets better and better. More errors are corrected, more features are added, etc. I'm working on a some new features that I hope will benefit everyone greatly -- not just students but also the Latin academic community as a whole.

Please continue sharing this site with students and teachers of Latin. I love watching the community grow year after year.

Also, please continue marking errors as you come across them. I can't fix every single error in a timely manner, but I'll do my best to get as many as I can. Please keep in mind that some errors are harder than others to fix due to the nature of the computerized database employed here versus the organic nature of a human language like Latin.
